who brought with them many useful and
ornamental presents. Quite a number
and st. Albans Bay, attended our adj
journed town meeting, Saturday the
9th. 1t seems to be generally under
stood by outsiders that a North Island
town meeting is worth attending from the
TACT that considerable talk has been in
dulged in for the past two years over the
building of our bridge. The first days
meeting it took from p. m. till sundown
to elect moderator, town clerk and one
selectman, five ballots being made before
an election was declared. A feeble at
tempt was made the first day of the meet
ing to show that certain individuals had
got more of the towns money than be-
longed to them but it failed so utterly
that the gentleman who started the thing
got badly left when they ran for first Sc
lectman. The tailend of our March
meeting will be reached the 18th, when
the town reports are to be made, but the
election of officers was completed the 5th,
(at an adjourned meeting) the following
being the list Moderator, o. p. Knight ;
town clerk John Tudhope selectmen.

The third town meeting since the lst
